Ingredients

• 2 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Optional: Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a clean skillet or griddle, place one gluten-free tortilla over medium heat.

Step 5

Evenly spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on the tortilla.

Step 6

Spread the cooked spinach mixture on top of the cheese layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach mixture.

Step 8

Place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla. Gently press it down with a spatula.

Step 9

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the bottom tortilla is slightly crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 10

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 11

Allow the quesadilla to cool slightly, then slice it into quarters using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Step 12

Serve warm on its own or with your choice of gluten-free salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
